The origins of Hyrule would not be complete without mentioning the Golden Goddesses – Farore, Din, and Nayru. As detailed in Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, they ascended to the heavens and left the Triforce in their stead. Yet, before they did, they entrusted the goddess Hylia to protect the land and it’s denizens. Hylians, in consequence, have seemed to maintain a faith and loyalty to their goddesses for eons since.

However, the Golden Goddesses and Hylia’s silence in Breath of the Wild brings into question their true presence, as Princess Zelda prayed in earnest for her powers to awaken with no reply. Although she awakened her powers eventually by her own means, the situation makes us wonder whether or not such a faith has been misplaced.

Are Hylia and the Golden Goddesses still present, or did Zelda’s pleas fall on silent ears? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
